Have Your Cake! Quilt Tutorial

[@KathyM-c6i]

How have I never seen this brilliant technique for using the cut offs from snowballs?! Thanks for teaching this old dog a new trick. :)

[@revelationquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SewWhittle]

A ton of KZbin quilters have been posting it recently. Not sure anyone else knew this trick either. Haha

[@karenwood7393]

This would make a great baby quilt with pictures in the middle. Another great idea. Thank you

[@NanaKathy47]

I have been looking for a pattern for months that would let me keep some of a favorite layer cake as 10" whole squares. This pattern is perfect. Thanks for sharing such a fun, useful, almost no waste idea.

[@revelationquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sead705]

Agreed ❤

[@MB-cj4zv]

I have the Jane Austin layer cake that I don’t want to cut into small pieces. I’ve been looking for a good while for a pattern. I’m going to try this as a test block to make sure I can do it. It’s a beautiful block and I love how it is constructed. Thank you.

[@jomercer21113]

Don't worry about being "unconventional"--that's how creativity and innovation happen! Gorgeous result!

[@revelationquilts]

Yes! Thank you!😊

[@helenwilliams7112]

What a wonderful way to save your fabric that's too pretty to cut! Thank you so much for your clear directions! Blessings to you & thanks again for sharing your ideas.

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome! It's my pleasure!

[@joyharper89]

I wish I had seen this a year ago! What a unique way of showing off your "too pretty" fabrics!!

[@revelationquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Yasha4life]

IKR 😊

[@stephaniesinden145]

Ingenious corner treatment. I generally avoid snowball corners but yours have that extra pizzazz. And the hourglass cornerstones are the perfect way to use all the cutoffs!

[@thefloreas6699]

This is a fantastic idea! Well done. Off I go to pull a layer cake and 2 charm packs from my stash! Thank you!!!!!

[@revelationquilts]

Have fun!

[@debraholmes6290]

Beautiful quilt ‼️Love this technique and hardly any fabric waste!! Thank you!😊💕

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@Yasha4life]

You read my mind… I absolutely love this tutorial. I love that it’s non-conventional traditional whichever word we want to use. You are my hero!

[@revelationquilts]

LOL- thank you. I seem to have misplaced my cape. 🦸‍♀️

[@Yasha4life]

@@revelationquilts well, I’ll just have to use his quilt pattern and make you one… Lol

[@sead705]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! What an excellent teacher you are! So happy you mentioned Jordan Fabrics and Matt’s precuts. Yes beautiful layer cakes have stopped me from cutting them up but THIS I CAN DO! Bravo

[@revelationquilts]

Thanks so much!

[@judithhope8970]

I recently realised (on my 70th birthday) that if I don't use all my lovely fabric, someone else will.

[@revelationquilts]

Good point!

[@chi2tan]

I love this quilt. Most layer cake quilts aren't really interesting like this.

[@revelationquilts]

There are some pretty ones out there.

[@maddiecedeno8989]

Fabulous…great job. Thank you so much for the inspiration💕💋💕💋

[@revelationquilts]

I'm so glad you liked it!

[@kathleenburdick4078]

I have watched this 4 times because it's so awesome!

[@revelationquilts]

Thanks!

[@lynnepfeffer8039]

Pretty quilt. Very clever construction!

[@vickypetry1049]

I love this!! Thank you for teaching me a new way to block!!!❤

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@pattivallett5830]

What a great idea and tutorial

[@revelationquilts]

Thanks so much 😊

[@DianaForee]

What an amazing idea! using the cut offs with no waste!

[@revelationquilts]

I'm very glad you like it!

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Another winner, Suze! I just came up with a little hack the other day for marking lines in the back of fabric. I like using a regular mechanical pencil but the one is very light and I usually have to draw the line two or three times. The other day I put in a 2B or 4B lead, which is softer than the conventional lead for a mechanical pencil. The softer lead makes a much more visible line with a single stroke! I imagine a 2B or 4B pencil (from the art supply store) would work the same way! I ordered my softer leads from Dick Blick in the US.

[@revelationquilts]

Brilliant idea!

[@jzedalis]

So beautiful! Thanks for such a great way to do those special fabrics. I have a few of them. Live your channel. Finally something new and different to watch on KZbin.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you so much!

[@swass55]

I love this!

[@RaedeenGarnet]

Awesome idea to use for those beautiful 'no cut' layer cakes that I've just been petting and not using! :-) Love your quilt, it is exceptional.

[@revelationquilts]

I'm so glad you like it!

[@lenacoleman1142]

WOW - Amazing technique!! So unique!!! I love it. I am horrible about choosing colors that will go together This has given me some inspiration. I just love the Pattern!!!! Thanks so much for this tutorial!!! Please show a picture of what quilting pattern you chose for this beautiful quilt!! Thanks

[@revelationquilts]

I will take a picture once I get it quilted.

[@tracyreeder-cd6hd]

I have several layer cakes on hand to choose from which are just begging to come out of my stash for this technique! It’ll be great for them to come out and shine for my family instead of just me. It’s such a novel look.

[@revelationquilts]

I'm so glad you like it!

[@juliekoone3569]

Absolutely amazing, love your channel and this technique ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@djlane5213]

Cute quilt. Nice touches with the extra stripe that was created w/ the HSQ snowballs.

[@esperansaloughran693]

Great for non-convention! There ..... is where the magic happens everytime! Thankyou! You always amaze me!

[@revelationquilts]

Wow, thank you!

[@ksharpe8137]

I don’t like pinked edges either. One reason I like buying precuts from Jordan Fabrics. Great video! Gonna shop my huge stash and get started ❤

[@revelationquilts]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lindaladner4949]

What a fabulous idea! I have several layer cakes that will be wonderful for this ingenious design. Thank you!

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@kailee5694]

Very nice. I can see this snowballing all of the layer cake and using a contrast as the sashing . I just like larger quilts.

[@revelationquilts]

Me too, but for the sake of tutorials, it makes better sense timewise to make smaller quilts. You can always make any quilt as big as you wish.

[@terribishop5313]

Very cool!!!!

[@gerryivkovich1857]

So clever and beautiful! Thanks for sharing and be blessed.

[@revelationquilts]

I love this pattern. It is beautiful

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@LynnNexus]

This.... Is a brilliant technique. I genuinely was awed when I saw what you were planning on doing. Also I frequently find myself frustrated when watching quilters because of the amount of little corners of fabric that get thrown away. I love that you intentionally use the corners, not just in the base block but then even the little leftovers from the second cut of the block too. Thoroughly impressed.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you for the encouraging words!

[@pamlacey136]

This quilt turned out so pretty! I love the way you made it, and I hope to make one in the future. Thanks so much for sharing it……………………….

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@Yasha4life]

I had to use fabric and cut my layer, cakes and charm squares. I’ve got half of my pieces cut up! You have no idea how many times I have watched this video. I’m making this quilt for my mom for Christmas. She’s like my best. Everything in the whole world and I really want to make her proud.

[@revelationquilts]

It will look amazing! Your momma will love it!

[@Yasha4life]

@@revelationquilts these double snowballs are a lot more work than I thought. For my first quilt, I have bit off a lot! But I’m not gonna give up.

[@revelationquilts]

@@Yasha4life You got this!🥰

[@caseyjones1794]

Love this pattern! I made the first row and can't stop looking at it! My blocks were about 9.75 and my corner stone squares wound up being 2.25. I am sure I didn't do something right. Thank you for this lovely block pattern!

[@revelationquilts]

Mine were just shy of 10" but they are all consistent. I promise it will work out. I'd love to see the results!

[@marionbarber984]

Wow! What a great way to add interest! At first I thought you were going to add the last half square triangle! That would look cool too! Maybe as a paper pieced element. Hmm, there's an idea for me to try. Thank you!

[@revelationquilts]

I seriously thought about doing that. I'll bet it would add a whole new dimension!

[@latetotheparty4785]

The narrower seam allowances are also on bias seams, so there’s no chance they’ll unravel. I really like your thinking here, I have the perfect layer cake I’ve been saving for a pattern like this.

[@revelationquilts]

Good thinking! I didn't really even consider that, but you're absolutely right!

[@sunneedaze57]

I love this!! I DO have a couple of layer cakes o cannot make myself cut up because they are just too pretty! I have to make this!

Welcome!!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I watched this video (the second one) this morning. This is beautiful to me. I love how it displays the beautiful colors and prints used by you. I have never bought any of Mat's hand cuts; because, I have been disappointed by some of the charm packs I have bought at the local quilt shops here. I usually cut fabric from my own stash (when I am having a pain free day). The lines and colors in your quilt top are so interesting to me. You had very little wasted fabric in this project. Thank you.

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome! Much Love!

[@karenm7260]

Beautiful! Thank you for clear instructions every step through to completion. Such a calming choice of fabrics.

What a great tutorial ! Another idea to do that second line is to run another piece of diagonal seam tape right to the left of the piece you already have...and then you can use that to measure the 1/2" I love diagonal seam tape. Thanks!

Great Idea!
